*** My impression was that he didn't know the address, and this was another subtle joke (that to Americans the capital of Germany seems such a small city that they can find any house simply from the photograph).

*** There's also the obvious risk that Mieke would just delete any further e-mails from him once she established who had sent it; Scotty decided the only way he could explain everything properly was by visiting in person.

*** This was 2004. The internet was different then. The gimmicky GIFs and such were still pretty common (though not as much as the late 90s). Google was not the powerhouse it is now (2020). It was possible to set up a new e-mail address, but that might not have been the first idea to enter anyone's mind. I know I only had one address then and I would have thought it was a big deal to create another one.

*** I agree, but despite saying he only knew she lived in Berlin, apparently he knew her exact address, and could still send her a regular letter.

**** There is little evidence to support that she's a professional domme, as opposed to just the operator of a scam house. The locals probably know to stray away from Vandersexxx, whereas any tourists, wouldn't. The safe word is not only not pronounceable to an American; it's just [[ArtisticLicense not pronounceable]].

* FridgeHorror: When Cooper first walks into Club Vandersexx, [[Music/LucyLawless the Dominatrix]] immediately acknowledges that he's American. If she's well aware that he's an American, she must have known that he wouldn't be able to pronounce the safeword that she wrote down. And as pointed out above, the safeword is written in some weird Scandinavian tongue that isn't even spoken in Amsterdam. So when she does the whole "session" with him, she's not providing the usual services that she would to a customer...she's just torturing Cooper for the hell of it and taunting him with the fact that he can't make her stop.

** Not exactly fridge here, since her expression gives off that she's clearly indulging in & enjoying torturing the ignorant American.
* FridgeLogic: Was there something stopping Scotty from setting up a new email address and saying he was drunk?
** Clearly the movie is set in a world where a person has only one email address, given at birth, and can't even use it to pass on a message from someone else. Or Mieke is blocking all mail from unknown senders. Or Scotty is just that stupid (his love for gimmicky [=GIFs=] and ditto email programs as well as using a paper dictionary does suggest he's rather tech unsavvy).
